Real Madrid have dismissed reports suggesting they are planning to introduce a sporting director, describing such claims as completely untrue.
The Spanish giants reiterated their full confidence in the current sporting structure, commending the leadership for delivering one of the most successful eras in the club’s history.
They highlighted their achievements as proof, pointing to major successes such as six UEFA Champions League titles within the past decade.
Overall, the statement serves to shut down speculation while reinforcing trust in the club’s existing internal setup.
In a post shared by Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, the club stated, “Real Madrid extraordinarily values the work that the club’s sports management has been carrying out, which has allowed us to live through one of the most successful periods in our entire history with the achievement of numerous titles, including 6 European Cups in ten years.”
Real Madrid have traditionally followed a unique organisational approach, where top executives and key football figures handle transfer and sporting decisions instead of relying on a conventional sporting director system used by many European clubs.
The clarification comes amid ongoing speculation in Spanish media about possible structural changes, especially as several elite clubs across Europe move toward more centralized sporting director models to manage recruitment and long-term squad planning.
